Wednesday's Wanderings in Weldon Springs State Park on May 27, 2026

While looking around the park today while I wanted to find some things of interest, I thought I might take some pictures of some of the Pavilion areas in the park.

I didn't take pictures if there were people at the pavilions so here are just a few of the great picnic places in the park.

Next week I hope to take pictures of the other areas around the park.

Bird Stroll on May 23, 2026
WOW did we have a successful day of birding! There were 11 of us who started at 9:30 and ended sometime around 11:00. Altogether we were able to identify and see 36 species of birds and Merlin identified by sound (and we heard them also) 8 more birds but we were not able to find them. This made a whopping total of 44 species! Yee Haw!
Birders: Josh, Paige, Roman, Jim, Cole, Kristine, Ramee (SP? help me please!), Michelle and Tom. I led the group with help from my fellow Master Nat. and Birder Vickie.

I hope I can get this list posted... but I do have a few pics! If any of you have some to add, or pictures to post - please do!
Enjoy!

America has changed so much but still so much is the same. In 1865 the Union Schoolhouse was built in Chestnut/Beason area. It was used until 1947. Teachers came and went. Children came, were taught and went on. Union Schoolhouse is still being used today in 2026, 161 year later.
May this Memorial Day weekend bring many fond memories of those who've gone before us and for us.

Get in on the fun! Join us tomorrow for birding. See photos for details of events.
